Pancakes
I'm no cook. This fails to be news to anyone who knows me. But today, I was starving, wanted pancakes, and seeing that pancake fixings were all the food I had anyhow, I set to. I managed two yummy, albeit slightly burnt, pancakes, before the smoke alarm went off. I turned off the burner, removed the frying pan, and opened the apartment door to get rid of the smoke. All I ended up doing was setting off all the fire alarms in the whole building. The firemen told me to order Chinese food next time I got hungry. Good advice.
